This past weekend we decided not to let the rain and cold weather get to you. Instead, we headed indoors for the Ottawa Home Show and made some new discoveries.
We saw lots of hard surface inspiration. Counter tops, custom hand crafted, gorgeous doors and windows and bathroom vanities. New in the bathroom world is a cool unit by Mondeau, the “You” bathroom set. It had a drawer base unit and trough sink with a slim mirrored cabinet above, that lifts up to reveal more storage.
The base unit attaches to the wall so it left lots of space underneath for additional storage!! Storage, storage, storage!!! Who doesn't want more storage...
A favorite was the "Pillow Cabinet" from Laurysen Kitchens, as seen below. We loved the way the edges of the cabinet roll to a finish, giving a hard surface and soft look.
We discovered SGO Designer Glass, who provide custom stain and leaded glass for any window or door. Check out their photo gallery at www.sgodesignerglass.com
We visited the Wicker Emporium booth. Boy, did we get a surprise!! They have very comfortable chairs and all kinds of furniture. These wing backs made of bonded leather were $145 per chair!
The sale is on until the end of October. Check out what they have to offer at www.wickeremporium.ca and no it doesn’t just carry wicker furniture!!!
After the show we wondered downtown to the market to check out Urban Barn and Zone. Two of our favorite stores.
Zone Maison is always a pleasure to visit and definitely worth the drive. The selection of lighting, for this size of a store, is amazing. There is always lots to fall in love with, like this handmade wood Noisette Pendant. Courtesy of la Belle Provence, Quebec.
From lighting to furniture, curtains, accessories and dream kitchen items, this store allows you to drift away for a while. We can't decide what we like better....
the ball leaf pendants,
There were great sales at Urban Barn too! We were pleasantly surprised to find a mix of contemporary, traditional and antique reproduction items. And lots of accessories to sort through. We LOVED this bench!
Oh! Since winter is coming, we scooped up this 100% wool carpet for about $150 dollars! Our feet will be warm and definitely not bored!!
Although we like to promote shopping locale, a trip to the market is always worth while. You'll need a latte pick-me-up or a great lunch and there is plenty of to choose from. But that's another topic!!
